It's not on my land but it causes problems on my land..
gutters/mess/wasps.

So whose land *is* it on? Neighbour? Council?

It's at least 40 feet tall

What is my options to get rid of it

For starters, have a chat to the trees owners and sound them out as to
what they think about it?

Write to the council stating that it is causing structural instability to
your dwelling and they will be held responsible if further damage occurs.
You could also surreptitiously drill into the top of the bole and inject
serious quantities of brushwood killer which will make the tree VERY sick
(but slowly)
